Quince’s flannel sheet set is the best bang-for-your-buck when it comes to high-end sheets at a mid-range price. These are made from cotton, which is then brushed on both sides. This makes for a soft feel, like how a worn-in flannel shirt might feel after you’ve worn it a few times. Great for colder months.

Casper made bed-in-a-box famous, and the brand is also busting out comfy sheets to match. These organic percale cotton ones have a great middle-of-the-road 300 thread count. They give you that just-ironed shirt crispy feeling when you climb into bed.

Coyuchi Climate Beneficial Cotton Washed Sheet Set
Best Eco-Conscious Cotton Sheets
Coyuchi Climate Beneficial Cotton Washed Sheet Set
This is indeed a very expensive set of cotton sheets. However, the cost is for a good reason: Coyuchi is working to come up with better, more sustainable ways of producing cotton and buying these sheets puts money back in local California cotton farms. Plus, the washed cotton twill is cozy soft, like wearing a favorite hoodie.
